Actually, what you suggest was how the naming was in earlier RPMs.
However, I changed the naming convention since the fundamental
installation should require client-side code only, to talk to a remote
server. In cases where Postgres is deployed on many machines, only one
or a few will have the server installed, while all machines will get
the client packages.
